A center for the study of the history of American baseball, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is often called Cooperstown.

My husband enjoyed all the details - history, stats, videos, team lockers, etc. . I enjoyed the highlights and the special topic sections.

I don't watch sports like I used to and even when I did, I watched football and basketball more than baseball. Moreover, I grew up outside the US and so didn't grow up with the baseball culture. But even as a relative novice, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The museum does a great job presenting the history, and showcasing all the significant players and events. I came away with a much better understanding of the game, being able to place names and people in the overall timeline and a fuller appreciation for all the accomplishments. Well worth the drive from NYC.

Really nice experience. As a side note, the National Baseball Hall of Fame is located in Cooperstown, NY. Cooperstown is definitely a tourist town with the Hall of Fame being the primary destination. During the off-season (guessing October through March), the town is pretty much deserted save for the locals and aside from the Hall of Fame, there is little else to do. Half of the restaurants/businesses were closed (not sure if seasonal or for good) and good luck getting any food after 10pm. The place is so desolate that I'm pretty certain that on a Wednesday afternoon at 330pm, we were the only ones in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
